2012 started off wonderful in February 7, 2012-- Jesse proposed to me outside of my work. Totally took me by surprise. He said he loved me and wanted to be with me forever. Of course I said, YES! We went straight to my parents house and showed them and told them the great news. Called everyone in the family and of course announced it to FACEBOOK. Jesse had no idea but my grandparents celebrated their 59th anniversary that day also. I started planning right away we started with May 18, 2013 as our wedding day and then changed it to a beach wedding to April 5, 2013. We welcome two beautiful babies in our family summer 2012 precious Tinley Jo and Adalyn Mae. We also had some wonderful family and friends show their love for us with engagement party. We had our first garden and it produced more than we could really keep up with. I went fishing with Jesse and caught the smallest fish you could ever imagine. lol! I'm just trying to think of what else. My mind right now is just cloudy because all I can think of is how my year has ended. The death of my dearest loving and funny grandpa. As I called him my 'Pa'. He passes away early morning of Christmas Eve. He was my biggest fan as was I his. He use to keep me when I was smaller and take me to mothers day out. He came to every school function and even came on field trips with me. He loved Jesse although he was a card fan. LOL! I know Jesse was his favorite card fan. He enjoyed hearing Jesse talk about fishing and hunting. The only thing that keeps me from breaking into tears is that I know he feels so much better where he is now. He can garden, fish, do all the things he loved so much to do. And one day we will be with him again. Its just going to be awhile and I miss him so much already. He was more than just an ordinary grandfather to me and all his grand kids. He was an amazing man. I hope that I can be a great parent like he was to my mom and aunt and uncle. I will always love him and know he's with me in my heart everywhere I go.
2013 is the year for my wedding. It kinda keeping me distracted by all the sorrow I feel. I know my Pa wouldn't want us to be all sad and down. He would want us to keep going and living to the fullest. So we have 5 days till the 3 months mark and we are less than 100 days. It's coming soon. My mom also with get to retire from the Post office at the end of January. I'm so proud of her. She has taught us so well. She has worked her butt off so hard for so many years. She deserves the time to enjoy with her grand kids and do the things she enjoys to do. Proud of you momma and I know Ma and Pa are too!!
So here's to a new year. We won't ever forget 2012 but we will move into an New Year because no matter the hurt life goes on and we have no choice but to continue living because he would want us to.
